Proudly Offering PR Card Renewal Services in Burnaby

We handle PR card renewals for clients throughout Burnaby and the surrounding areas. Your permanent resident status matters, and we verify that you meet the residency obligation and file every document correctly with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC).

From standard renewals to cases involving extended absences, we know exactly what issues can delay your application. You should renew your PR card when it’s within nine months of expiry. Your permanent resident status doesn’t expire when your card does, but you need a valid card to board commercial flights, trains, buses, or boats to return to Canada. Without it, you’ll need to apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) from abroad, which adds weeks to your timeline.

Expert PR Card Renewal Services in Burnaby

We manage the entire renewal process from start to finish. Our team provides personalized support and regular updates to prevent delays, helping you maintain your permanent resident status with confidence. You qualify for renewal if your PR card expires within nine months or has already expired, provided you meet the residency obligation of at least 730 days in Canada over the past five years. Here’s what we offer:

  1. Complete residency day calculations and eligibility verification
  2. Preparation of Form IMM 5444 and all required documents available on the official IRCC website
  3. Photos that meet IRCC specifications and biometrics coordination
  4. Help with extended absence documentation and humanitarian considerations
  5. Application tracking and immediate response to IRCC requests
  6. Support for those working toward Canadian citizenship

Whether you originally came to Canada through Express Entry, spousal sponsorship, or provincial nomination, we make sure your application is complete and accurate the first time. As Regulated Canadian Immigration Consultants, we prevent the delays and refusals that result from incomplete applications or errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Much Does It Cost to Renew a Permanent Residency Card in Canada?

The IRCC processing fee for PR card renewal is $50 CAD. This fee is non-refundable, even if your application is refused or withdrawn. Our consulting fees are separate and cover application preparation, document review, and representation.

Can I Renew My Permanent Residency Card from Outside Canada?

No, IRCC requires you to be physically present in Canada when you submit your renewal application. If you’re outside Canada with an expired card, you must first apply for a Permanent Resident Travel Document (PRTD) at a visa office before returning.

What if I Don’t Meet the Residency Obligation?

If you haven’t been in Canada for at least 730 days in the past five years, you risk losing your permanent resident status. We help you gather evidence to demonstrate that your time outside Canada counts toward the residency obligation, including time spent working for a Canadian business abroad or accompanying a Canadian citizen spouse. We can also assess whether humanitarian and compassionate grounds apply to your situation.
